The sport of mixed martial arts hasn't yet earned its fair share of coverage from major media sources, and with that, there are often rumors that take a while to get substantiated one way or another.

That was the case on Thursday night when freelance reporter @FrontRowBrian tweeted that former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson had suffered a torn PCL and that his fight with current champion Gilbert Melendez was in jeopardy.

Ultimately the decision will come down to whether the California State Athletic Commission clears Thomson to fight, but as of right now, fans should assume the scheduled fight for the Strikeforce lightweight title will go on as planned.
